NJE Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Hello, My band has just folded (friday) and as such i am completely rethinking my setup. I do not really have a huge need for an amp anymore so am thinking about selling it and my current main bass and getting something really fancy with the proceeds. I love the look of sadowsky and think one would be a sound investment but just wondering how the necks are finished? I have been trying to find out but I must be a little slow because I cant find info anywhere. Are they gloss or more of a MusicMan feel? I will of course be playing a few before I buy anything but I was just curious as I am not the biggest fan of satin finish. Cheers, Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sme people think they are a little "sticky" when yu first get them, but after playing for a couple of weeks the lacquer becomes very shiny and smooth. I love the finish on the Sadowsky necks.

bubinga5 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 The RV5 i owned had a superb neck...very smooth, with a non glossy neck...i dont like glossy necks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Diaz Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 They are Nitro finished, but the finish is not all buffed and shiny. They feel great from the beginning but after you put a few miles on them (it can be a couple of weeks or a couple of months depending on how much you play them) that feel is simply perfect: solid, smooth and fast.

JTUK Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I prefer a laquered neck but a very old M I had felt fine as well... and that had a degree of laquer on it but can't recall what is was like when new... I be tempted to get a Sad neck finsdished off by someone if the profile or finish wasn't right... And if you bought custom new, then I would guess you could specify it. P.S My bass' finsih took a month of laquering and sanding to complete, IIRC I wonder if that is why some don't do it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
